What is gramine
- Gramine is an indole alkaloid present in some plants such as from Phalaris and Arundo spp. It has been claimed to be potentially toxic, however recent evidence shows it to have very low toxicity (relative to other alkaloids such as tryptamines) and to have potential antimutagenic effects. It is found most commonly in Avena sativa (Oats) [1]

Extractions
To eliminate gramine from extractions, so far there havent been many tested methods but potentially extracting with aliphatic naphtha/hexane/heptane/petroleum ether, and recrystallizing in one of these solvents should get rid of it considering Merck Index indicates it is not soluble in those solvents, as written in the chemical properties link above.
Analysis
